Starting over
Just a comment on bilogical systems starting from scratch. They don't, that is not anymore. Sure there are low level chemicals which are combined in elaborate ways, but only by using a 4 billion year old process manual, and the already developed infrastructure of an egg, spore, or parent body.

To use your car example, I could not build a car from scratch, I mean starting with nothing but a bone and a stone. There isn't enough time to setup the infrastructure for one person. A car though can be built in a few months from very crude chemicals, iron oxide ore, crude hydrocarbons, silicate sands, and other metalic ores. The key is that the process and infrastructure are already in place.
